"Pocket Jar" - Tobacco Travel Container?

[ssjones]

Has any one tried one of these? I stumbled over the ad viewing Ebay pipes this morning. I often have a need for 1-2" ounces of tobacco to carry on a plane. I always feel a little self-conscious with a glass mason jar (small size), that the TSA might think it is weed (they have never gave it a 2nd glance). But, this is plastic and would be a better travel companion.

I have one. Picked it up, mainly, because forum member, shaintique, is the one selling. He started the Pipery.

I used it for just a few times out and about, but I preferred just using small empty square tins. There isn’t really a necessity to keep my tobacco sealed while out, because I prefer it dry anyways.

It is neat, but it just sets in a drawer now, with a lot of other pipe accessories.

I picked up some when they were first released from The Pipery. I like them.

Great way to throw a few bowls in my back pocket for a short outing. Like Cosmic said though, a tin or a puch work just as well.

 

[sandollars]

I use them when I travel. They seal nicely and keep the tobacco fresh and in goldilocks condition.

NOTE: The actual "jar" is made of some sort of plastic and the molding process leaves a seam on the rim of the jar on all 3 I bought. It's not a big deal. I just took a file to them to make the rim smooth to ensure a proper seal. They are really handy if you like variety when you travel.

I have 3 and I love them, they are the best in my opinion for travel with escudo or LBF. They work great with coin cut tobacco. Super slim in your pocket and pretty dang tuff

The Pipery makes them. Neat looking, but don't have need for it. If it was made out of glass, I might consider it since it will be able to store the tobacco longer.

I saw these...neat, but they just seem unnecessary. LIke Cosmic I use tins or a ziploc for the day. If I bought one I know it would eventually just wind up in a drawer gathering dust.

The inside is awfully small. It holds like one large pipeful.

That's helpful, thanks! I like my tobacco "springy" and find a week in a standard tins gets it too dry. This might be right up my alley.

I have one that I use when I’m standing outside the pub with my friends and they’re smoking cigarettes, I pack a little bowl.

Sure, I wasn't looking, just stumbled over that one. It may indeed be too small.

 

[niblicck]

Looks to be about the size of a plastic snuff can which is what I use.

Just wash with warm soap and rinse with water. I pack them tight and have about 6 of them in my luchbox for work with different blends.

If you would like to try one out, PM me your address and I will send you one. They came in a three pack set and I only use two of them currently. I'd be happy to share.

It's the least I could do after you did such a good job on my birthday Peterson.

I have one and love it. Use it all the time.
Bought it here for $8.

I like these enough I bought 6 of them.

Late to the post but I got one several months ago and really like it. I actually have spent a few years trying all sorts of containers just as a bit of an obsession. It’s good. Seems 3-D printed? I keep one attached to a magnet under my patio table if I want another bowl and don’t want to go inside too. And fyi. Cup O Joes has them the cheapest of the stores I’ve seen at $8.25 vs $11-13 at the bigger shops. I’d love to find the maker and buy bulk.

I seen this made a few years ago out of aluminum or steel? Precision done but was about $80 and looks kind of hard to open. That one anyway. This looks pretty cool. I like this design. Would slip in and out of a pocket easily if smooth. That ufo shape seems the best for pockets. I’ve used pill holders too for a smaller amount and less room taken up. Can fit 4-5 grams of flake in those and they’re cheap and strong. I keep one or two of those in a travel pack and come back months later and no moisture lost.
